Massimo Blue

The horse has picked up form noticeably in recent weeks. Two wins in its last six races suggests a horse finding its groove after some quieter spells, and that August 27th victory at Southwell shows it can still deliver when it matters. Dylan Cunha's Newmarket yard, which has sent out 45 winners already this season, clearly knows how to keep this horse in the right frame of mind. Grace McEntee has been its most frequent partner in the saddle, though the partnership has yielded just one win from five rides together—a statistic that may simply reflect the broader challenge of winning races rather than any particular mismatch.

Where Massimo Blue struggles is in the higher-class races. At Class 5 level, its standard competitive level, it has won just once from ten attempts, a stark ten percent win rate. That gap between its overall record and its Class 5 form hints at the kind of horse it is: capable of beating the right opponents on the right day, especially on a surface it loves, but not one that consistently dominates its peers. Its first career win came at Kempton Park in February 2025, but it is Southwell where it has truly made its mark. For anyone following a horse that runs regularly, Massimo Blue is worth keeping an eye on whenever it heads back there.
